History Creator / BernardPierreDonnadieu

He studied acting and cinema at the Paris 3 Sorbonne Nouvelle university, and worked several jobs to pay his studies, one of which (worker in a cork factory) caused him an accident that cut the tip of two of his fingers. He joined the theatre troupe of Robert Hossein in Reims in 1975, and started appearing in small roles in the films of Creator/RomanPolanski, Claude Lelouch, Jean-Jacques Annaud and Patrice Chéreau.
